  [**Tags**|teen drama, tv]I finally got around to watching the Hellcats premiere last night. To sum it up in three words: I liked it.Marti reminds me of an anorexic Peyton Sawyer, but I miss Peyton on One Tree Hill, so I'll take what I can get. I really don't understand the Hollywood culture to stay so damn bone thin. It's gross. I digress. The main cheerleader guy played a basketball star on One Tree Hill, so it's on my brain. It's funny that this show is portraying all the male cheerleaders as masculine, straight guys. Now, I don't personally know any male cheerleaders, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the norm. Whatevs.The main character, Savanah, reminds me a bit of myself. Not the writing on people's arms thing or the perky thing, but the I-like-having-a-plan-for-everything thing. She uttered a line "If we're going to be spontaneous, can we at least have a plan?" which made me chuckle big time.There's clearly going to be drama between the cheer coach, her hot (formerly vampire fighting) boyfriend and this new football coach.There's also clearly a Dawson/Joey thing going on between Marti and her Dawson-like townie friend. I mean, he's even a filmographer. At least he's hotter than the Beek, though.In the end, it was good enough to keep me watching and I look forward to more episodes of Bring It On: Memphis. |
